Answer:

9.4 m/s

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by external forces on a system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system.

Therefore we can write:

W=K_f -K_i

where in this case:

W = -36,733 J is the work done by the parachute (negative because it is opposite to the motion)

K_i = 66,120 J is the initial kinetic energy of the car

K_f is the final kinetic energy

Solving,

K_f = K_i + W=66,120+(-36,733)=29387 J

The final kinetic energy of the car can be written as

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 661 kg is its mass

v is its final speed

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.4 m/s

Which of the following methods has led to the earliest discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars a. detect
Mrac [35]

Answer:

c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum

Explanation:

In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital  movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.

When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.

Answer:

Net force: 20 N to the right

mass of the bag: 20.489 kg

acceleration:  0.976  m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the normal force and the weight are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, they add up to zero in the vertical direction. In the horizontal direction, the 195 N tension to the right minus the 175 force of friction to the left render a net force towards the right of magnitude:

195 N - 175 N = 20 N

So net force on the bag is 20 N to the right.

The mass of the bag can be found using the value of the weight force: 201 N:

mass = Weight/g = 201 / 9.81 = 20.489 kg

and the acceleration of the bag can be found as the net force divided by the mass we just found:

acceleration = 20 N / 20.489 kg = 0.976  m/s^2
